Answer:


\huge\boxed{\sf x = 3}

Explanation:


\displaystyle (x+1)/(2) + (x)/(3) = 3\\\\LCM = 6\\\\So, Multiply \ both \ sides \ by \ 6\\\\ ((x+1)/(2) * 6) + ((x)/(3) * 6) = 3*6\\\\3(x+1) + (x*2) = 18\\\\ 3x + 3 + 2x = 18\\\\5x + 3 = 18\\\\Subtract \ 3 \ to \ both \ sides\\\\ 5x = 18-3\\\\5x = 15\\\\Divide \ both \ sides \ by \ 5\\\\\boxed{ x = 3}\\\\\rule[225]{225}{2}

Hope this helped!
